HOUSE

I am a passionate photorealist. I cannot fully appreciate pieces that lack detail unless they vividly depict a deeper, alternate meaning than what is presented at face value. I strive with all of my being to include as much detail as possible into all of my pieces. The full effect of photorealism is achieved through the application of high contrast, painstaking shadowing and the inclusion of as many details as possible.

In portrait work, it is even more important to pay attention to these principles in order to create an impressive replica of the subject in portrait.

However, one must also pay rapt attention to the details of the layout of the face and the person's features. Accuracy in this department will aid in ensuring that the portrait looks just like the person.

So concludes another vacation in the life of a dedicated student and a very tired human being. The trials of academics and art help make me stronger at least, so there is some good that comes out of hard work.....

This is my last portrait of an internationally famed person who is not locally based.

In the future, I may post some pictures of my previous portraits which include the likes of Queen Latifah, The Joker, Taylor Swift, and last (but not least) Ellen DeGeneres.

Due to my return to the hectic life on Tuesday, my posts may start to dwindle in frequency, but I will try to update as best as I can.

Lol, I love the tag bragging rights :P Dude, you are amazing, you've developed so much in a year! All you young people make me so scared >< Lol, thanks for the shout out. Have a page too nuh, I can look at you things all day ^^ Keep it up!

Great stuff Johnathan. I love everything about this presentation. The first one for comparison (as Michelle said, is by no means a failure. Just more simplistic IMO). The newer version is really outstanding. I'm quite partial to these type of more accentuated photo-realistic renditions myself. I was like WOW when I scrolled down to see it after the first one.

And finally the time-lapse video clip. Loved that too. To see how the art progressed. That was a nice touch. Loved all. Keep up the great work Johnathan. So very proud of you.
